The technical translator works either from the Polyglot Dictionary
Editor, where the complete set of expressions used by the application is
displayed in alphabetical order, ready for translation, or from the
Polyglot Visual Translator where forms and reports can be translated
individually.

Without leaving the Polyglot interface, the programmer can resize Form
and Report controls (translated expressions are often larger than
originals). Several Wizards automate the task of producing Multilingual
Code Tables from existing data. Code tables are used to populate list
boxes and combo boxes or to issue messages that can react to Dynamic
Language Switching.

A single .mdb file containing a multilingual application can be
distributed to end-users. A free Runtime Engine (Polyglot RT) handles
the Dynamic Language Switching. Polyglot RT is a very small file that
is installed on each end-user computer instead of the full Microbus
